I just want LINDA to know that I do exactly the same. . .go from project to project to project! It works for our brain, and we get lots, and lots done!
Don Aslett's "How to Have a 48 Hour Day" convinced me there is nothing wrong with our method. . .our brains are just wired different than "type A" folks. . .LOL!
We also, after 10 years, went from a Fiver to a Motorhome. . .no regrets! We didn't downsize though, so that is going to require some adjustments I am sure.
Continue to enjoy the journey.

Friday Today, we didn't get a lot accomplished. We took it easy in the morning, and then headed to Las Vegas. Our truck was ready to be picked up at Diesel Specialists. On the way out of town we stopped at the RV Superstore to ask some questions about tow bars, baseplates, and towed car braking ...

This year, we started our 16th year of full time RV life.
Our first 10 years were spent with a big F550 with a hauler bed, and large condo on wheels fiver.
Loved every minute of that journey, but transitioned into a motorhome 6 years ago. . .no regrets. . .NONE!
Wishing you all the best moving forward!

We got an Uber this morning, Wednesday, for the short ride from our hotel to La Mesa RV in Tucson. We walked out to the delivery area with a nice young fellow, Jose, and he proceeded to go through his checklist of everything to show us on our new-to-us 2015 Winnebago Aspect 27K motorhome. ...

As mentioned in a prior post, we were in Louisville for annual physicals and we once again stayed at the house of our friends Dale & Sandy. And since it was cold and snowy, I went into RV search mode when not in a doctor or dentist office. I looked for very specific models in the 2013 - 2017 mod...

I don't know anything about the rubber squares you bought, but if they don't work out, I do know the horse mats sold at Tractor Supply are designed to hold up under thousand of pounds of horse.
It's what our friends use for jack pads under their Phaeton. We cut them down (with a utility knife) and use them as vibration dampeners for the washer.
I've had an electric pressure cooker since 2009. . .one of my I won't be without tools. . .I feel sure Linda will find she likes it more and more as she goes along.
I turn mine on (dry) with a little oil in the bottom to the beans setting (that's the longest time setting on mine) brown whatever meat I will be cooking. . .then add the liquid, and reset the cooker to the time I need. Have fun.

Sunday So, Sunday morning I used the Blackstone griddle and cooked up an egg, bacon, and cheese scramble. It was really good. I'm still feeling my way through this griddle-cooking, but I'm enjoying it so far. Most of the rest of the day, we just ticked things off our long "to do" list. Linda did...

We arrived at my Dad's house on Wednesday, a little after noon. He was swollen and didn't look good at all, but he was with his caregiver, his neighbor from across the street, Krys, and Brandy, his great niece. He was in and out of sleep, but woke up and was coherent when we arrived. He looke...

I have read your blog for the longest time, but rarely comment. . .this post really touched me. . .and my heart hurts for you both.
Reading your comments of not knowing the stories in the home movies makes me realize the importance even more of documenting the journey.
We've cleaned out two of our parent's homes. . .Dave's Mom and my Dad which somehow makes me contemplate each decision we make with the thought. ..the boys will need to deal with this later. . .so things I consider treasures will have no meaning whatsoever to them. . .
Please know we are thinking of you. . .may peace surround you. . .

We had a few great days with my Mom last week, and we'll cherish those memories and moments. But the last four days have been rough. She hasn't been able to eat for quite some time, and her fluid intake has dropped to almost nothing. Her communication has gone from conversations to a few words...

As planned, we were up early and ready to leave Don & Diane's place by 8:00 a.m. for our 250-mile drive. I slid the RetraxPro cover forward and locked it into place in front of the hitch. That's one of the attractive benefits of the Retrax - you can lock it in any position on its tracks. I mad...
